Thursday 02.11.2017 Management 12 am - 1 pm Folklore and the Alternative Modernities- I Sonia Sharma Dr. Nandini Sahu, SOH, IGNOU Prof. Satyanath, University of Delhi SOITS Folklore studies is a part of the mainstream of English studies today. I am planning this lecture to define the thin line of distinction between folklore and myth while justifying the in-depth relationship between folk, classical and modern literatures. I will be making an attempt to deal with the study of folklore and the alternative modernatives associated with it, supporting the view that the western parameters like the Great Little traditions should not be applied to the study of the Indian folklore. In the Indian context, the Loka and Shastra, or, folk and elite contrast is contrary to the western contrast between great and little traditions. Rather the complementariness of Marga and Deshi is very deep and intricate, contributing immensely towards the making of Indian literature. 11 am 12 pm Auditing Dr. Sunil Gupta SOMS This IRC would focus on site verification activity, inspection or examination, objective examination and evaluation of the financial statement 12 am - 1 pm Urban Sanitation and Waste Management Prof. B.K.
